Course catalogs came in handy as students tried to determine just what books they would need. by Steve Fifield Staff Reporter The ASWSC Legislative Council recently adopted a proposal that calls for the consolidation of the present student government system. The current executive office consists of the president and six vice presidents. Under the new proposal these seven officers would be consolidated into a president, an academic vice president and a student services vice president. The current student senate, with its eight members, will also be affected by the new constitutional proposal. The present responsibilities of the senate only entail academic issues. The new proposal will add eight more senators from special constituency groups on campus. The new senate will be responsible for all issues relating to all areas of student concern. In order for the new ASWSC constitutional proposal to go into effect next year, it must be ratified by a majority of the student body. Therefore,, a referendum vote will occur on April 5 and 6. The new constitution calls for the academic vice president to serve as the chairman of the senate. A vice-chairman will be elected from the senate. The senate will include representatives from each of the following constituencies: the schools of allied health, business, education, humanities, natural science, social science, technology, bachelor of general studieshonors program, black student organization, resident halls association, hispanic student organization, older-non-traditional student organization, international student organization and native American student organization. It has also been suggested that an at-large and a handicapped senatorial seat be added, see "Adhoc" on page 2. Regents Approve 8.2 Percent Fee Hike by Steve Fifield Staff Reporter The Weber State College Institutional Council and the Utah State Board of Regents have approved an eight percent tuition and fee increase for Weber State students next year. In a special ASWSC legislative council meeting at the end of winter quarter, student officers made recommendations that next year's student fees be increased from the present $61 to $66, which represents an 8.2 percent increase. Next year tuition will go up eight percent. Currently, tuition for full-time resident students is $209; next year it will be $226. Full-time nonresident students are currently paying $730 per quarter for tuition and fees, next year they will pay $789. Traditionally, the percentage of the fee increase has not exceeded the percentage of the tuition increase. This year the fee increase will exceed the tuition increase by .2 percent. ASWSC President Brad Howell felt justified in the break with tradition. "We had to go with an even dollar increase," said Howell. Tradition and common sense have dictated that increases be even dollar amounts. This makes for greater ease of payments and refunds, since there is less change to handle and account for, he said. "In many other states the schools have a flat tuition; in the state of Utah it's been broken down to tuition and fees," said Dr. Kay Evans, dean of students. "I don't believe that the University of Utah or Utah State University student officers have any input into their fee increases," she said. see "Fees" on page 3.
